Asian Games table tennis mixed doubles final: Lin Shidong/Kui Man won the championship, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha missed the third consecutive championship

China News Service, September 26 (Reporter Guo Xuan) In the table tennis mixed doubles final of the Aichi Nagoya Asian Games held on the evening of the 26th local time, the defending champion Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha lost to their teammates Lin Shidong/Kui Man at 9:11, 11:13, 9:11, 9:11, and missed the third consecutive Asian Games table tennis mixed doubles event.

At the post-match press conference, Wang Chuqin said that for the Chinese team, it would be a happy thing no matter who wins the championship. The performance of Lin Shidong and Kuai Man deserves this championship. "Shasha and I performed equally well today. Although there seemed to be some disparity in the score, in fact, every game was very close. We had the opportunity to take the lead and win the game, but we failed to seize it. This may also be the charm of competitive sports. This is a new topic that needs to be re-researched by the two of us later, so as to gain a new understanding of mixed doubles in terms of training and other aspects."

After the Paris Olympics, the "Shatou Combination" reduced the number of appearances in international competitions. In this regard, Wang Chuqin said that the two men competed selectively in the new cycle, which was also based on rational considerations.

"Because throughout the Paris cycle, we participated in almost all mixed doubles competitions, and we have been competing in mixed doubles, doubles, singles, and teams. From the physical and mental state and the baptism of the Olympic Games, both I and Shasha have been greatly challenged and consumed." Wang Chuqin said that the two have no clear goals and positioning for the mixed doubles in the next Olympic cycle, and they are more experiencing the development of the current mixed doubles project through competitions such as the Asian Games. "Later we will think about how to improve the strength of mixed doubles and find better methods."
